Smoke Testing

  What is the Smoke test? Smoke Testing is one of the testing techniques that fall under the umbrella of verification since it's utilized to verify and test the operation for the software in the context of the built.   The testing takes place at the initial stages of the testing process in order to ensure that all the main blocks are functioning and that there are no blocks that the testers must work in functional testing. What is the reason we require Smoke Testing? The testing process is typically carried out during the beginning or first stages of software when it is released for testing and testing of QA team.   Imagine a scenario for an eCommerce program, for instance, the software is installed in the test environment to be tested however during the test it turns out that the users are unable to sign in to the application in order to continue and carry out any tasks, or task.  We can also say that the users are unable to use the software because the first ...

  Following are the three key benefits of smoke testing: 1. Troubleshooting bugs at a faster pace: Troubleshooting activities can be carried out effectively by the development team during the smoke testing process. Root cause analysis can be performed efficiently. Smoke test su ites provide high coverage. The quality of the application can be viewed as a sketch-mapping exercise by the smoke test suite. If the build is viable enough, then the QA team can gain more efficiency as partial regression testing can be conducted on that build, while smoke test bugs are fixed by the developers. Once the smoke test bugs are fixed, the QA team can then focus on fixing bugs found in partial regression testing. 2. QA teams can scale up their productivity: If a larger test suite is being run because of which time and effort are being wasted by the QA team, the platform of smoke testing can be used to discover the issues and solve them accordingly.  Instead of wasting resources, if th...
